Reorder on your vendor's terms. Not on a sales forecast.
Backstock is the purchasing and receiving system for brick-and-mortar retail - price breaks, case packs, order minimums, and freight thresholds, the way you actually buy from your reps. Across every store and every register.
// For the sales floor and the stock room - not the web shop. Then flat pricing - never a cut of your sales.
Coming off Stocky? It closes 31 August 2026, and your suppliers, costs and purchase-order history don't carry over to Shopify. Bring all three here instead - including what you actually received on every order.
What to export, before it's gone →Who it's for
Brick-and-mortar retailers - one location or fifty. Bookstores, bottle shops, outdoor gear, grocery, boutiques, hardware.
Dropshippers and web-only stores. If your reorders come from yesterday's online sales, this isn't the tool for you.
The buyer's brain, built in
It watches the vendor's price list, so you don't have to do the math on the floor.
Set your negotiated terms once. Backstock rounds every order to the case and tells you when a few more units cross into the next tier - or clears the free-freight minimum.
Why the other apps feel wrong
Everyone reorders off your sales. In a real store, that's backwards.
Shopify's tools, and most inventory apps, forecast customer demand and fire off reorder points. But 99% of your orders aren't driven by what sold - they're driven by what your vendor is offering this week.
What inventory apps do
- →Forecast demand with AI and "smart" reorder points
- →Treat every SKU as a single flat cost
- →Ignore case packs, minimums, and freight thresholds
- →Charge you more as your sales grow
What you actually do
- ✓Buy to the tier your rep negotiated, at the cost you agreed to
- ✓Round to full cases and hit the order minimum
- ✓Track landed cost as it changes on every receipt
- ✓Keep a clean inventory + receiving history you can actually pull
Built for how a store actually runs
The back-of-house work the web-first apps forget.
Purchasing doesn't end when the PO is sent. Backstock is built around the parts of the job that happen on the floor and in the stock room.
Receiving dock
Check it in against the PO
Count deliveries line by line, catch shorts and damages, and update landed cost the moment stock hits the door - then the units land in your POS without a second entry.
Back office
Catch the cost that drifted
Backstock checks the costs in your POS against the deals you negotiated, and flags every one that moved, every item missing a cost, and everything on your shelves you haven't put terms to yet.
The rep's order guide
Buy from the real catalog
Your vendor's SKUs, tiers, and case packs - imported, not re-keyed into a spreadsheet every season.
The rep's inbox
Send it the way your rep works
Email it, print it as a buy sheet, export a CSV for their ordering site, or send a link they open with no account. Still order by phone? Backstock records it either way.
One purchasing office, every register
One back office for every store you run.
Backstock syncs SKUs, costs, and on-hand from every register on your floor, and hands back clean purchase orders and receiving for the stock room. Shopify POS and Square connect today; Lightspeed and Clover are next.
From setup to your first smart PO
Up and running in an afternoon.
01
Bring your suppliers and costs
Import them from a spreadsheet - suppliers, negotiated costs, and price breaks come across as-is, with no re-keying.
02
Set your vendor terms once
Price breaks, case packs, order minimums, freight thresholds, payment terms - the deal you actually negotiated with each rep.
03
Order to the tier, receive on the dock
Backstock builds each PO to the next price break and checks the delivery in against it, updating landed cost as stock lands.
Pricing, said plainly
Flat price. We don't charge you more for selling more.
Others bill on your revenue or per order. Your purchasing workload doesn't scale with your sales - so your bill shouldn't either.

The math
One caught price break pays for the month.
The nudge above - +6 units, save $60.48 - already covers a month of Backstock, on a single line of a single order. It only takes one to come out ahead.
Founding offer - for the first 50 shops
- Your first 3 months are free. The clock starts when you add a card, not when you sign up.
- $29/mo, locked for life. The first 50 shops keep founding pricing forever, even as the price goes up.
Straight answers
Questions we hear from shop owners.
Do I have to leave Shopify or my current POS?
No. Backstock sits on top of the register you already use. Shopify POS and Square connect today, with Lightspeed and Clover next on the list.
We run more than one location. Does it handle that?
Yes, and every location is included in the one price - we don't charge per store. Per-location stock, costs, and purchase orders, all from one back office - and each delivery is received into the location it actually landed at.
Do I have to retype all my suppliers and costs?
No. Export what you have to a spreadsheet and we import your suppliers, negotiated costs, and price breaks, so you start with the deals you have already negotiated.
I'm coming off Stocky. Can I bring my data?
Yes - suppliers, negotiated costs, and your purchase-order history, including what you actually received on each one. Export those three CSVs from Stocky and import them under Vendors. Worth knowing: none of it survives the move to Shopify's own purchase orders - Shopify's migration guide says suppliers can't be exported from Stocky at all, and a PO file uploaded there becomes line items on a new draft, so statuses and received quantities are lost. Stocky closes 31 August 2026, and after that there's nothing left to export. What to export, and when.
How is it priced?
Flat - $49/month for your shop, however many locations you run, and never based on your revenue or order count. Sign up now and you lock in founding pricing: 3 months free, then $29/month for life for the first 50 shops.
When can I actually use it?
